Goodbye, old friend.
May 6th, 2008 by Jim Clark
Yesterday afternoon we had to put our dog to sleep. He’d had liver and thyroid problems for the past few years, but over the weekend he suffered kidney failure and could no longer walk, and there’s just no coming back from that.
He was part of our family for 14 good years. We let the kids say their final goodbyes, although they’re still too young to fully comprehend what’s happening. They keep asking when he’s coming home from the doggy doctor, and no matter how we try to explain it they still ask.
It’s so hard to let go.
Farewell, Tyler. You were such a good boy.
Dang, Jim, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how you feel, having had many pets. And it doesn’t matter how many times you go through it – it’s just as hard every time. /hugs to you and the family.
That is an awsome painting – what a nice momento to have!
